एकांशं कृत्वा वसनं कृतांजलि प्रदक्षिणं निदह्य जानु भूम्यां ।
संहर्षितो ऽनिमेषं प्रेक्षमाणः सो बोधिसत्वं स्तवे तस्मिं काले ॥ १२१ ॥

ekāṃśaṃ kṛtvā vasanaṃ kṛtāṃjali pradakṣiṇaṃ nidahya jānu bhūmyāṃ |
saṃharṣito 'nimeṣaṃ prekṣamāṇaḥ so bodhisatvaṃ stave tasmiṃ kāle || 121 ||

Throwing his robe over one shoulder and raising his joined hands, he knelt on the ground to the Bodhisattva’s right. Thrilled, but steadily gazing at him, he on that occasion sang the praises of the Bodhisattva. (121)
